Meet the Press suddenly put on LAW AND ORDER during M. Dowd?

[fooj]

What a trip!

[babylonsister]

1. I'm watching Dowd, Friedman, Safire in TX;

your local channel switched?

[SpiralHawk]

2. That's because MoDo has a killer article in Today's NYT

Will look around for a link

[paineinthearse]

32. Link here

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=103&topic_id=109266&mesg_id=109266

It's not getting enough attention. Please give it a :kick:

[chaumont58]

3. I saw it on LA station

which is a tape, I belive. No "We going to a station break." No sequeway at all. I wonder what she said? Her column this morning is not easy on the bushies.
I bet if JimmyJeff were speaking, they wouldn't have gotten lost.

[fooj]

4. Live in California and about midway through MTP, Dowd was talking

and suddenly Law and Order came on and completely wiped her out. I am still blown away! I realize that mistakes happen, but in light of what has been going on lately- it was knd of frightening!

[Dinger]

45. Has Anyone Contacted Their Local T.V. Stations?

It was on here in Wisconsin, and I plan to tape it tonight on MSNBC. I have Dish Network.

[Eric J in MN]

5. They will post a transcript in a few days at

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032608/

[fooj]

6. I've just read another post stating that it happened in their

part of the country, too! Pretty blatant considering she was talking about Gannon/Guckert!

[Webster Green]

9. So NBC got rid of the Gannon/Guckert comments...

for the re-broadcasts of the show?

I was watching on the west coast and saw the Law and Order crap come up all of a sudden.

WTF?!

[chicagojoe]

7. I caught that, and here's my story of a recent similar occurrence.

The vehicle I drive to work only has an AM radio. When I was driving home about midnight this past Friday, I was listening to some talk radio guy named Mike Gallagher. Anyway, he had a liberal caller on the line who was making very good, intelligently articulated points against the war and Bush. Guess what? The air went dead! After a few minutes passed, guess what? The station was back on air, just in time for the regularly scheduled newscast. When the shows host returned, there was no mention of the incident, and it was off to a new topic. Coincidence?

Is this going to become a trend? Let's watch and see.

[fooj]

8. Isn't that special!

:cry: :cry: :cry:

[Syncronaut Seven]

27. Might become a trend?

Where have you been comrad? And what will it take to fix it. We may be well beyond letters to the editor.

Remember, they'll be lots of guns but ammo may be in short supply. Plan ahead.

[radfringe]

49. same thing happened in my neck of the woods

when 60 minutes was running the Bush-AWOL story ("rathergate")

the intro came on, they cut to commercial and then it went off the air, I also heard that in some places they cut 60 minutes completely and re-ran some Billy Graham special that was a couple of years old...

the "excuse" was a local transmitter, feed or some crap went out --

oh yeah, they said they would re-broadcast it - and they did... at 3:00am in the freaking morning in the middle of the week... meanwhile -- if you didn't read every single article in the papers you wouldn't have seen the notice about the rebroadcast...

[Jack Bone]

10. I saw the uninterrupted version...in Indiana

She talked about how Putin questioned Bush's legitimacy as President...I wonder if that was the part that was "accidentally" overrun w/ Law & Order?

[fooj]

37. No...it was AFTER she said that...maybe LAW and ORDER wasn't

used in your state...I don't know.

[barbaraann]

11. Maybe we should have a forum just for incidents like this.

I know I caught several on CNN back when I still had cable.

[jean]

12. yes - we should document these glitches, which seem to always

occur at just the right moment for Bushco.

[fooj]

38. Yes... a bit too convenient for me!

[Dinger]

46. Let Media Metters Know (David Brock)

[kentuck]

13. It happened in Colorado also....

It went black for about 10-15 seconds when MoDo was responding....when it cam back, Friedman was on...??

[fooj]

21. I found it chilling!

:hug:

[qanda]

14. It happened in Baltimore

My husband and I could not believe they would do something like that. I wonder what MoDowd said that made them go to such drastic measures.

[cyn2]

19. For qanda

Wouldn't it be "live" in Baltimore? How would they know what she would say?

But on the West Coast slapping on "Law & Order" is sooooo "in your face"...

[qanda]

35. No, it comes on at 11:00 in Baltimore

On Edit: I'm not sure what time they tape MTP, but it's on the Washington station at 10:30 and I missed that one.

[KittyWampus]

15. They Did This To Howard Dean Several Times

they being the corporate media

[chill_wind]

16. Tim Robbins

I remember reading way back that C-Span went black on Tim Robbins.
During his delivery of "A Chill Wind Is Blowing"?

signed.
chill_wind (me).

[Armstead]

17. I saw the whole show. I don't think it was intentional.

I saw it live (I think) on the East Coast. I don't recall that she said anything unusual that would have required such an intervention deliberatly.

Also if they did want to edit something out, they could have found more subtle way to do it with a pair of scissors.

I'm not saying there's never any reason to question such things. But this isn't one of 'em, IMO.

Paranoia is like fine wine. It needs to be rationed carefully. B-)

[fooj]

23. Yes. Rationed in Colorado, Illinois, California...

[seabeyond]

33. got out on east coast,.....moving across country taken out? n/t

[fooj]

40. I couldn't say. Apparently, out here on the "left coast" they'd like

to continue treating us like mushrooms. You know...keep us in the dark and feed us shit!!! It is maddening!

[kentuck]

18. How many have satelite dish?

Because it happened on the dish also?? I guess that means the glitch originated in NBC studios??

[fooj]

24. We've got Dish ...

[cyn2]

20. Are any of the "Law & Order" stations Sinclair?

You can check here:

http://www.sbgi.net/business/television.shtml

[fooj]

25. No...I live in CA./Santa Cruz County.

[ellenfl]

22. it's on again tonight on msnbc at 10 est and tomorrow night also.

[AntiCoup2K4]

26. No interruptions here in the Pacific Northwest.

Just saw Dowd's entire statement about Pooty-Poot apparently saying that Junior was Supreme Court appointed by Daddy's friends :evilgrin:

[Cha]

28. Is that how soul-mates

treat each other?

[Catamount]

34. Yep! Me too!

As always, she was great!

[fooj]

36. I saw that, too. It was what she said after that was 'pre-empted"

[peacetalksforall]

29. Is there an all satellite or all cable or all network pattern for those

you who were switched to Law & Order (or vv)?

[IndianaGreen]

30. Is this a glitch, or is there some commonality in here?

Who owns the stations that did this? Was it a satellite glitch? Not likely when you have stations in Baltimore and Colorado.

[cestpaspossible]

31. Could someone please state exactly what happened

for those of us who didn't see it?

[fooj]

39. No problem. It was about mid-way through the broadcast...

Dowd was talking about Putin referring to electoral college- implying that Shrub was "selected" and then Russert asked her a question and when she began talking the beginning of LAW AND ORDER came on without missing a beat. It continued for about a minute or so- then the screen went completely BLACK for about 10-20 seconds and then MIRACULOUSLY , MTP was back on just in time for the next journalist to speak! I believe it was Friedman. (sp)? No mention of WTF happened at all! It was eerie!

[cestpaspossible]

41. One of those technical glitches that never happen when the RW is talking

"we seem to have lost Governor Dean's audio..."

[high density]

42. Watch the re-run on MSNBC tonight (10pm and 1am ET)

Probably it was an issue at your local NBC affiliate.

[jean]

47. Can we post her commentary online- both transcript and audio form?

It seems if we want something done, we have to do it ourselves, regarding fairness in journalism.

If anyone out across our great nation has tape or tivo of the 'interruption' from this morning, perhaps that could be offered online, as well.

[Neshanic]

43. No problems in Phoenix this morning. Dowd's smack intact.

[acmejack]

44. It happened Austin, TX.

Same thing as in CO. And they all use a small tape delay now from fear of the FCC...

[fooj]

48. I watched the MSNBC 10pm version...they were talking about Condi's

dominatrix stilettos! Unreal! So, I guess it is our local stations! E-mail onslaught!
